The Beginning of the Journey
After leaving Floating Cloud City and heading towards where the strongest monsters lived in the area, Jasmine tried to use his Profound Power as often as possible. It was strange for him and for the first time, so the boy was not used to these changes yet. Even at the 4th level of the Elementary Profound Realm, he was much stronger than in the previous world, and this made him a little unnerved.
On the way to the most dangerous places in these areas, Jasmine met many beasts or monsters, which he killed and satiated his stomach.
Once in front of the lake, he also examined his appearance and did not like what he saw. A seedy boy, a face filled with scars, dark spots all over his body, and the body itself is nothing but skin and bones.
"System, I need to change my appearance.
"Ding!"
"Appearance change available, cost: 1000 points"
He sighed at the price. The boy had already looked at the tasks and realized that it would be much more difficult to earn points in the future, although now he has a large number of them.
- I take it. He couldn't help it. If it weren't for the task with the little loli, like the great-grandson called her that, he wouldn't be at all worried about his appearance. He didn't care how he looked.
Soon he began to edit his appearance thanks to the system interface. It was similar to how his great-grandson spent hours creating his character in these MMORPG games.
Sighing in his thoughts, he finally finished with it. Now he looked like an incredibly handsome child with red eyes and snow-white hair. His face and eyes were so "icy" and unemotional that just looking at him you can feel goosebumps.
Having finished with the appearance, Jasmine bought himself clothes that were not so expensive, only from 5 to 20 points. It was a black coat with a beautiful belt. On his shoulders was also another white cape with a down jacket around his neck. Pants were under the style of a coat, as well as comfortable and light knee-length boots.
Picking up an ordinary double-edged sword, Jasmine moved on, going deeper into the more dangerous part of the forest...
"I need looks to win over a little loli…. I think I've dealt with it, he thought, creating a system window in front of him that showed his face. Even he felt sorry for the child he saw in the reflection of the interface. The boy's face was so cold and his gaze piercing that one involuntarily wanted to take him to her and warm him, giving him parental love and happiness, which he did not have.
His plan was to appear as someone who had gone through the same pain as Jasmine. She must understand how similar they are, and not only in names, but also in their position.
"Maybe I can become the prince of the destroyed Kingdom of another kingdom…" Jasmine thought while scratching his chin, trying to find the beard he no longer has. Although he already had a plan of action with the red loli, but in order to minimize the chances of failure, he must think about this idea.
"Ding!"
"There is a monster of the True Stage at the border of level 5 ahead!"
"Just in time…" Jasmine whispered as he activated his rings. Once the purchased items worked, his power completely disappeared from the perception of the rest of the creatures, and his presence was erased, at least for the monster.
Having made his way forward a couple of hundred meters, he saw a bird that looked like a stork, but it was black, as if smeared with paint. The monster was near a lake with a small waterfall and stood motionless near a flower.
Jasmine's heart raced, but he wasn't afraid. He was in anticipation. Despite the fact that he had already killed animals along the way, but it was a simple hunt, and here and now in front of him was a Monster that could destroy his entire city in the past world.
Top…
Creeee!!!
The bird spread its wings, hearing the sound of footsteps, but looking around, no one was anywhere. Her beak opened, and the aura of a True Realm being radiated from her body.
Jasmine frowned and realized his mistake. Even though he moved quite quietly and carefully, the monster's sensitive hearing heard him.
"Ding!"
"Advice: Use Inner Power to suppress the noise of your movement"
Jasmine immediately followed the system's advice and used her Inner Power, which made him seem like a piece of fluff. And his steps became quiet and intangible. This trick could be learned by any practitioner even at the Elementary Realm Profound Stage like him, because successful hunting and stealth kills depended on it.
The monster calmed down and, confirming that there was no one around, again absorbed its wings and continued to sit in place.
Jasmine, seeing this, also calmed down and moved on. As soon as he was within a meter of the Monster's strike, the system alerted him again.
"Ding!"
"Your strength is many times inferior to the monster in front of you, so you won't be able to pierce his body with an ordinary sword"
"…" Jasmine wasn't angry, though his brow twitched for a moment. Realizing that he almost made a fatal mistake, he opened a store.
"System, choose me a sword that can pierce the carcasses of creatures up to Emperor level, ignoring the user's level"
"Jing!"
"The sword of Hades is normal. Effective against Monsters, Demons and Devils. Useless against people. Price: 3000 points"
"#^$%$%" - this time, Jasmine could not help but curse in his head. But he also understood that a weapon that would allow him to ignore the levels of enemies would be very expensive and also limited in use.
After buying it, a large two-handed sword appeared in the boy's hands. At first, Jasmine was upset, as the sword looked larger than its owner, and he would not be able to control it in any way, but soon realized that he was clearly jumping to conclusions.
Raising the sword, he did not even feel the weight, almost. It seemed to him that he was holding an ordinary stick.
"We need to rely more on the system," the boy thought.
Wasting no more time, he swung his sword at the Monster…
Cut!
The monster's head flew off his shoulders in a perfect cut, there was practically no blood. From the very beginning until his death, the bird could not understand what had happened there.
"Incredible…" Jasmine said, jumping up and down and holding a two-handed sword that looked bigger than himself. It was one and a half meters long and half a meter wide. Looking at it, he said. "Thanks System, I forgot to mention that I need a sword without an aura or whatever.
As he said, Hades' sword was not felt at all. It looked like an ordinary sword, and if the practitioner looked at it, he would no longer pay attention to it.
"Ding!"
"It's good that you understand that!"
Jasmine smiled as he saw how pleased the system was. Throwing away his old sword, he went to the grass that grew near the place where the monster was. This weed was no different from other weeds, but what attracted attention was that it was alone here, and it was protected by the True Profound Bird.
"System, what is this herb?"
"Ding!"
"Star Grass of Concealment…"
Reading its features, the boy's eyes lit up. But soon the system disrupted all his plans, saying that the processing of such an herb into a pill is almost impossible in this place. You need an incredibly strong alchemist or a Sky Poison Pearl.
"Sky Poison Pearl, huh…" Jasmine sighed. If it were his will, he would kill Yun Che and take this treasure. "System, is it possible to collect this herb without losing its beneficial properties, without the Pearl?"
"Ding!"
"You will need to purchase an additional property for your ring."
Jasmine was not upset. He knew there was a price for everything, so he again spent 200 points for a storage ring, which would allow him to collect herbs without losing their beneficial properties.
After taking the Star Grass of Concealment, he also placed the core of the True Realm monster into the storage rings.
"Ding!"
"Look at your cultivation"
– Hmm? Jasmine frowned, but did it. When he opened the system interface window, he was surprised. He was still at the Elementary Profound Stage, but his level was…
Jasmine. Cultivation Level: The initial stage of profound strength level 5….
